The Cat Prophecies: Claw Quest - by Nik Korpon & Jorge Enrique Paz (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

A thirteen-year-old boy holds the fate of his family, his neighborhood, and the world in his hands when he discovers that his cat is from a secret realm of warrior cats facing a dangerous enemy.

Tito Rodríguez loves his family, his comics, and his neighborhood--Barrio San Antonio in Cali, Colombia--but it's not easy being a dorky ñoño who gets teased by the kids at school.

And things certainly don't get easier when Tito befriends a stray cat who leads him into a hidden realm...one where cats are revealed to be legendary warriors that protect our world from evil spirits who feed on negative emotions. And according to an ancient prophecy, Tito is the Chosen One who will lead the fight against the forces of darkness...probably.

It turns out that there are three possible Chosen Ones--Tito and his new friends and fellow outsiders Luisito and Isa, each with their own furry sidekicks. And with the barriers between worlds are wearing thin, all three will have to train for the ultimate battle and figure out who is the true hero that will save the worlds.

About the Author

Nik Korpon is the author of several mystery and sci-fi novels, none of which his kids can read yet. He likes to climb mountains, surf waves, and pet cats, though not at the same time. He met Jorge as a Spanish tutor, then they became parceros (you'll get it when you read the book), and now cowriters. He lives north of Baltimore with his wife, the two aforementioned kids, and assorted cats. This is his first middle-grade novel.

Jorge Enrique Paz was born in the vibrant city of Cali, Colombia, where the rhythm of salsa and the purring of cats inspire him every day. A lover of anime, music, and animals (especially cats), Jorge wrote his first children's book as a tribute to everything he loves. Fun fact: his cat once saved his life, and they've been inseparable ever since. This book is just the beginning of many more furry and magical adventures to come.
